thanks guys for the compliments on the trailer. we have lots of people wanting it, especially the ones who have seen it, they can't believe we have it so cheap. maybe someone will be able to get the financing, credit is a huge factor

I had noticed it and liked it and was going to show it to a friend who is in the market but the average person wouldn't have anything to pull that big of a trailer

When we bought our trailer 17 months ago we had 2 lenders fighting for our business. One was a broker that was really nice I can't remember their name. The other one we financed with was thru the dealer we bought from First Internet Bank of Indiana. They have been easy to work with too. At first the dealer bumped our rate a point or so but when I got my own lender involved all that changed very quickly. Most of your standard banks don't know how lend on something like a LQ trailer just not their speciality.

that is a nice trailer. to buy a trailer you have to be a detective and look at all the evidents which one will fit you and why that one .When I brought my trailer I look at all the factor just the facts this site help me a lot and them I went and look at dealer did they help me get what i was look for or not . I had to learn that in the state of new york pick up truck (f-250 type) can not go on parkways. so have fun shoping and when you are done you will know you got the right trailer for you and your needs

May I ask what you mean by parkways? Are these some of the limited access roads near the city? Are these rules just for all pickups or only F 250s?
I've pulled upstate, the Adirondacks and west to the line many times, and never heard of these restrictions. We have plans for riding the Brookfield trails and along the southern Hudson areas. Sure don't want to be caught with NY's large fines.
Scroll down to see restrictions for New York parkways. You don't want to get caught. I used to live in New York - they LOVE to see trucks where they don't belong.

Age doesn't matter as much as condition. That goes for trailers too. If it's what you want and you're happy, then "you done good". I do mean that.

You did great! wait until you need to shop for a bigger truck (like we did). Ouch. If the trailer is comfortable for you and yours..its a great trailer.
